The National Football League (NFL), in collaboration with the Black College Football Hall of Fame, announced on Friday the roster of players set to participate in the 2025 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Combine.
The HBCU Combine is scheduled to take place at the New Orleans Saints’ practice facility, the Ochsner Sports Performance Center, on Monday, February 17, 2025.
During the combine, offensive prospects will have the opportunity to showcase their skills from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Central Time (CT), followed by defensive prospects who will take the field from 12:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. CT.
NFL clubs will actively participate in both the Combine, offering invaluable scouting opportunities and ensuring visibility for the top draft-eligible players from HBCUs. This initiative aims to highlight the exceptional talent within HBCUs and enhance opportunities for these athletes at the professional level.
